This Wittnauer timepiece, produced in approx. the mid 20th century, represents a period when the company was transitioning through different ownerships. Initially part of Longines-Wittnauer Watch Co., Wittnauer was acquired by Westinghouse Electric in 1969. During this era, Wittnauer was known for producing a range of watches, from affordable models to more premium offerings, competing with both domestic and Swiss brands in the mid-range market. This piece holds a C11SR reference designation.
Design and Construction
The watch is constructed with a stainless steel case with a 36mm diameter and a 41mm lug-to-lug length.
Movement
The automatic movement, caliber 1708, features 17 jewels and includes a date complication. The "AXA" stamp on the movement is the U.S. import code for Wittnauer, confirming its authenticity and origin. The movement in this Wittnauer runs well at the time of listing, but has not been bench tested for precise accuracy.
Signature Features
This piece stands out due to its bold case and flat edged lugs allowing for a bold fit on the wrist and eye catching reflections off the majority of the case. The sapphire crystal is also a standout feature for a watch of this period. Typically reserved for higher-end timepieces, the use of sapphire demonstrates Wittnauer's commitment to quality and durability.
Dial and Aesthetics
The silver dial includes a date window, adding functionality to the clean design. The combination of the silver dial and stainless steel case creates a versatile look suitable for both casual and formal wear.
Strap and Wearability
This Wittnauer comes fitted with a genuine leather strap measuring approximately 8 inches (not including watch head), allowing it to sit well on a range of wrist sizes.
